Niang Niang

Character from The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang

An ancient woman imprisoned in the stone mountain — mad, prophetic, and holding knowledge about the Pantheon, the Trifecta, and the true history of shamanism that the Empire has spent centuries trying to bury.

Also known as: Niang Niang, The Old Woman

What They Know

• Possesses deep knowledge of the Pantheon, the Trifecta's history, and the true nature of the seal between the spirit and human worlds
• Lives in caves beneath Sinegard — an ancient presence that the academy's modern administration largely ignores or doesn't know about
• May be one of the oldest surviving shamans — her age and knowledge suggest direct experience of events centuries in the past
• Delivers prophetic knowledge in riddles and fragments — her information is accurate but rarely clear until events prove it
